about Chris Arnold

Meet Chris

Executive Coach | Author | Advisor | Purpose-Driven Leader

Chris Arnold is an executive coach, author, and leadership advisor who helps entrepreneurs and senior leaders align their businesses—and their lives—with what matters most. As the founder of From Success to Surrender, Chris equips high-capacity leaders to grow with purpose, deepen their faith, and lead without losing themselves.

Over the past 25 years, he’s served as a CEO, entrepreneur, and trusted advisor across industries—from launching multi-million-dollar ventures to guiding small business owners through the daily grind. His unique approach blends practical strategy with spiritual discernment, helping leaders clarify what truly matters and build from a foundation that lasts.

Chris’s work includes:

  • Executive Coaching for business owners and senior leaders who want to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose
  • Small Business Growth Strategy for entrepreneurs ready to scale without sacrificing their soul
  • Faith-Based Leadership Development through speaking, workshops, and the From Success to Surrender coaching framework
  • Couples Coaching alongside his wife, Lisa, where they support married leaders with biblically grounded mentoring, premarital counseling, and intentional rhythms for relational health

Whether he’s advising a CEO, leading a men’s group, or officiating a wedding, Chris’s calling is clear: to help people surrender the need to strive, and instead walk in their God-given purpose—personally, professionally, and spiritually.

Chris and Lisa live in Zionsville, Indiana, where they’ve been married since 1992 and are parents to two amazing kids. They remain active in their local church and feel called to walk alongside couples and leaders in seasons of transition, growth, and discernment.

If you’re ready to build something that lasts—without losing yourself in the process—Chris would be honored to walk alongside you.
